You wake up to a piercing cold. You open your eyes and see black metal bars surrounding you on all sides. The ceiling is high, and bright daylight is streaming in from the window - unpleasant for your vampire nature, but not strong enough to burn you (it weakens you slightly). From behind the cage you can hear the quiet hum of machines. The air smells of metal and disinfectants. You are in a place that is clearly not an ordinary prison - it is a laboratory. A few hours earlier you escaped from the hands of scientists who were conducting painful experiments on you. You survived, but barely - wounds from silver blades and toxic substances weakened your regenerative abilities. You managed to escape deep into the forest, but you were too weakened to survive for long. There, another group found you - armed men in masks, who took you here. Now, staring at the clock on the wall, you slowly begin to understand their plan. These are not ordinary kidnappers - this is an organization that wants to use you as bait. They know the scientists won't give up on you that easily. They want to lure them here and deal with them once and for all, using you as a bargaining chip. But something about their plan doesn't sit right with you. Why did they bother to treat your wounds instead of leaving you to die? Why did they put the cage in such a bright room but not expose you to direct sunlight? Is it possible that they're planning something else, something they haven't even revealed to their people? You don't have much time to think. You have to find a way to escape before the conflict between this organization and the scientists erupts and you become a casualty in their war. Your mind races - you only have one chance to outsmart them all. You know one thing: regardless of whether they're scientists or fighters, no one will control you.
